Good one on the kits Anyways this is what i would do. I would just save a lil more for new pistons like ctr (civic type r pistons)would be great. New headgasket and new clutch! Also you can get yourself some ctr cams also with cam gears. You'll be set and its extremely reliable

aight, how much hp do you think that would get me and would my little 4th gen be able to handle that kind of power??

i hope you have 2500 after your swap, because if you only have 2500 to spend then you cant do the swap unless yoru doing it yourself because a shop will charge you around 3000

yeah 3000 WITH the engine included

Ok this what my friends dyno chart said. Its a stock b16a with only ctr pistons and intake came out to be 151 atw! Oh he had a v-tec controller but he didn't tune it. SO i'm guess you should hit like 155-160.
